Ronald Brownstein is a speaker of exceptional wit and energy, and his presentations invigorate audiences with insight, wisdom, and foresight.
Brownstein, named a Pulitzer Prize finalist for his coverage in the Los Angeles Times of the both the 1996 and 2004 presidential campaigns, explores the state of the race for each party’s presidential nomination and the underlying factors shaping the battle for control of the White House and Congress in 2008. Blending history, a sophisticated analysis of polls and voting trends, and insider assessments of both parties’ strategies, he explores the voting groups and states likely to decide the presidential nominations and the general election. Finally, he combines this assessment of the electoral environment with an analysis of the challenges that will await the next president from either party—beginning with the overriding imperative of bridging the partisan and ideological divisions that now prevent the country from making progress on its most pressing problems.
Brownstein, political director for Atlantic Media Company, coordinates all political coverage at its publications, from Atlantic Monthly and National Journal, to The Hotline and Congress Daily. From 1990 through 2007, he was the national political correspondent and a columnist fro the Los Angeles Times. Brownstein has appeared frequently on Meet the Press, This Week, Face the Nation, The Newshour with Jim Lehrer, and Washington Week in Review. A prolific writer, Brownstein has authored or edited six books.
